The Most Incredible Wedding DJ!

DJ Ascension truly went above and beyond at our wedding. From going over the minute by minute timeline to making sure we had all the little details covered - Blake helped us plan more than our actual wedding planners did! He was the best vendor we booked at our wedding by far and totally made the night for us and our guests. He really knows how to read and direct the crowd and made sure our entire night progressed seamlessly. The best decision we made for our wedding was hiring DJ Ascension, could not recommend him more!!! You need him at your wedding!

Perfection.

From start to finish Blake exceeded my expectations. Would recommend him over and over again. His customer portal helps you every step of the way in planning your event or special day. He is truly a professional who knows what he is doing.

Vibes were high!!

DJ Ascension played at my friend’s wedding in Hawaii and absolutely crushed it!! He didn’t just play music — he took us on a journey. The way he read the crowd and built the vibe throughout the night was unreal. And don’t even get me started on the live guitar and trumpet… next level. This wasn’t your typical wedding DJ — I was genuinely sad when the night ended. 10/10 would recommend him for any event where music matters. :)

Insanely Talented Dj

Words just can’t describe how magically talented Blake is. We had our wedding in Kauai, and not only did he perform his heart out, he planned the entire night and coordinated with our photographer, our fire dancers, and our caterer. There was zero stress with Blake on our team. During his performance, he took our entire guests on a crazy musical journey. I was absolutely blown away by his talent. His guitar and trumpet solos blew my mind. He doesn’t just hit play on his controller, he combines the music harmonically and doesn’t skip a beat. I cannot recommended him enough, for this man’s talent, his pricing is very affordable. His love for music, and his work made it the easiest wedding ever. He is full of so much love and compassion, it was truly a be leasing to have him DJ for us. If o could give 1000 stars, I would.

The real deal!

Blake is an incredible DJ - one of my new favorites in fact! He kept the party going all night long, bringing the energy on the mic, mixing bangers, and even whipping out instruments and playing them along with the song - like WOW! We were all blown away and I’d love to book him for my next event! He’s an all around fun guy to be around as well!

A Dream DJ!

My (new) husband was given the task of finding a DJ for our wedding, and he knew exactly who to turn to by choosing Blake. He truly was the best choice for our wedding, learned our personality quickly and helped bring our vision to life with mixing our eclectic music with romance allowing us and our guests to dance the night away. He helped us create an atmosphere that was fun, and unique, and we are so thankful for him. We have gotten constant feedback from our wedding guests about how amazing he was and how he helped make the night a truly unforgettable night. Thank you, Blake, for everything you have done for us! He even pulled out his guitar and trumpet to play during some songs to add to the uniqueness of the wedding and our guests were amazed! A true professional and master at his craft. 🖤🤟🏻
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
